Yes, you can file a lawsuit in the proper court and recover your damages if the person is unwilling to pay voluntarily.

If someone is driving your car and you do not have them on your insurance and they get into accident are you covered?
Although it depends on your insurance, the driver is covered if driving with your permission.
What do you do if someone borrowed your uninsured car without permission and was at fault in an accident?
Take them to small claims court for the damages. If they didn't have permission, you should have reported it stolen and had them arrested.
What happens if someone has an accident in your car but you were not driving?
If the person driving was given permission then all coverage should apply per the provisions of your particular policy.
What if someone is driving your car and they get into an accident and get hurt and they do not have car insurance is the owners insurance responsible for medical for the injured driver and damages?
You guessed it!
Are there policies or companies that cover anyone driving your vehicle?
If you have insurance on your car, and someone else is driving it, and has an accident your insurance rate will go up but it will cover the damages to the other persons vehicle.
If you are driving someone else's car does your liability insurance pay repairs to the vehicle you are driving?
No, liability insurance is when there are injuries involved. If you are injured in an accident when someone else is driving your car, your liability insurance would cover your medical costs. Comprehensive and collision insurance on the car you were driving should pay for damages to the vehicle.
If someone is driving your vehicle which is covered with comp and collision and has and accident are you at fault for all damages and costs?
Well you don't have to be 'at fault' to be responsible. If you gave permission for someone to driver your vehicle, (subject to any policy exclusions) the insurance stays with the car. Your policy will cover all damages to yours and the other party's (if there is one) vehicle. Unfortunately you will owe your deductible (if you are repairing your vehicle or it is totaled), and also will bare the rate increase should there be one for this accident....if you could provide more details perhaps i could be of more assistance.
If someone is driving your vehicle which is covered with collision and has and accident and is at fault are you responsible for all damages and costs or will their insurance cover it?
== == == == Car insurance follows the car. If someone was injured they can go after the driver if they weren't the owner of the vehicle.
If you have a car accident in someone else's car and they have full coverage will that cover the damages to the car you hit?
Usually, if the driver had the owner's permission to drive. What happens if the car is owned by the person that has the accident but the insurance is in your name? However you no longer want to be in that relationship or to have to pay that insurance?
When is liability needed?
When you cause an accident that damages another vehicle or hurts someone
Which insurance would be liable if our 16 year old son was involved in an accident driving someone elses auto with their permission ours or the owners?
The owners insurance will be responsible for coverage in an accident involving permissive use of their vehicle.
What happens if you drive someone else's car with no insurance and get in an accident?
You are the one legally in the care, custody, and control of the vehicle and therefore are the one who will be cited for driving without insurance. This is just the beginning of your trouble though. If you were at fault, you are also responsible for the damages done in the accident which may include injuries and damages to the vehicle you hit.
